View Larger Map I say this knowing that it could be taken the wrong way, so let me state that I obviously don’t like to see any business doing badly (except, perhaps, Foxtons – but doesn’t everybody?) but I couldn’t help but be pleased to see that there is a planning application in to change [...]
Asda super-sizes?
I’ll confess I was surprised to get a letter today from Asda telling me that they are about to submit a planning application to Wandsworth to build a mezzanine level in their store at Clapham Junction. Their plan, apparently, includes the creation of 1,229 metres of new retail space, extensive refurbishment and a new customer [...]
Boris rejects Clapham Junction hotel appeal
As I reported in June the developers had requested the Mayor take responsibility for deciding their application to build a hotel on Falcon Road. The Mayor has decided that he is content with Wandsworth Council taking the decision, meaning the council’s refusal of the application stands. Legally, the Mayor has powers to determine applications if they [...]
Clapham Junction hotel – developers appeal to the Mayor
Although the application for the hotel was rejected last night the developers are now appealing to the Mayor. Any applicant has the right to appeal a decision, which will normally go to the planning inspectorate. This is unusual in that it’s not, technically, an appeal, but instead a request that the Mayor takes responsibility for [...]

Following the Clapham Junction ‘towers’ application this had been another controversial scheme, especially as it backed onto residential properties in Mossbury Road. Local residents’ objections mainly concentrated [...]
Woburn House, 155 Falcon Road, planning application
Residents living near Falcon Road might be interested in the current consultation the council has received for the Woburn House site on Falcon Road. The site was the old job centre and is currently a solicitors. The application is for a 16 storey, 132 bedroom, hotel. I know many who objected to the Clapham Junction [...]
More on Clapham Junction planning withdrawal
(A little) more on why Metro Shopping Fund withdrew their planning application for Clapham Junction.
Clapham Junction planning application withdrawn
I’ve just heard that the Clapham Junction planning application has been withdrawn by the developer. The application had provoked an organised opposition and last week was recommended for refusal by the council’s planning officers although there were a few stirrings of support in recent weeks. Obviously the Planning Applications Committee are not bound by the [...]
Clapham Junction ‘towers’ recommended for refusal
The agenda for next week’s planning applications committee has just been published. You can read the full report on the council’s website. Many, however, will be interested in the planning departments recommendations which are that the main application be refused. The recommendation is for two reasons: Officers believe the application does not provide sufficient benefit [...]
